Which boys name do you like best?

46 replies

Idontknowwhattodo2 · 08/11/2019 13:19

I just found out I’m having a little boy, I was CONVINCED it was a girl so has only listed girls names - and of course Amelia doesn’t work!

So, which boys name do you like best out of these three, and do you have any other suggestions?

Harrison
Max
Alexander

Also taking suggestions for middle names! Surname begins with S.

Thank you!

Alexander. I dislike Harrison and Max is a dogs name.

Another love for Alexander. Max is also nice. Truthfully, I'm not fan of Harrison, but if it's your favourite of three go for it.

I always loved the name Theo, and Isaac might make for a good middle name too.

Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy.

Love all you three names @Idontknowwhattodo2 - don’t think you’d regret any of them.

Alexander

Stollen23 · 08/11/2019 15:52

Yes, if surname is very common (as in widely used) maybe go with a less popular first name. I like the suggestion of Isaac.

MikeUniformMike · 08/11/2019 15:23

Depends on the surname.
Max and Alex might sound like Mac Surname and Alec Surname.
Harrison is only just about ok.

Everydaylife · 08/11/2019 14:59

Max or Alexander.

MonChatEstMagnifique · 08/11/2019 14:56

I really like Alexander.

For middle names, how about
Theo
Isaac
James
Jude

Expressedways · 08/11/2019 14:45

Alexander. Max is also nice though.

Alexander

Stollen23 · 08/11/2019 14:42

Sorry Harrys

Stollen23 · 08/11/2019 14:41

They're all fine but very popular. I know lots of boy and girl Alexes and many Maxes and Harry's! Depends if this bothers you.

BonBon411 · 08/11/2019 14:19

Love Alexander, Max and Harrison!

LondonMummy1987 · 08/11/2019 14:17

Harrison

kiki22 · 08/11/2019 13:33

My sons middles names are Alexander and Harrison good choices OP.

I think Harrison is lovely it's very popular just now so think about that. Alexander was going to be my first sons first name but dp's dad was using Lex and Lexi when referring to unborn ds my mum wants Alex but gran though Alec was better which made me think there are so many variants I decided against it because I knew they would all try to pick what they wanted.

I prefer Alexander from the 3 and wish I would have just used it and used ds1's name as ds's name sometimes.

Hydrogenbeatsoxygen · 08/11/2019 13:28

Alexander by a country mile. Dislike intensely Harrison, it's a surname.

PsychosonicCindy · 08/11/2019 13:27

Hunter

Aaron

Tristan
Benjamin
Jolyon
